Instant Pot Plum Chili Chicken

We all own an Instant Pot by now right? I’ve had mine about 3 years and I still love it. I’m always on the lookout for new recipes (other than risotto, which by the way I need to blog that recipe!) and I found this Plum Chili Chicken in The Essential Instant Pot Cookbook. The downside to an Instant Pot is that a lot of recipes are soups and stews, or heartier foods that I’m not in the mood for during the heat of the summer. I was thrilled with this Plum Chili Chicken because it had a ton of flavor and is served with rice and broccoli. Perfect for summer when you don’t want to be stuck over a hot stove!

The recipe could not be easier. Mix together the sauce ingredients, place sauce and chicken in Instant Pot, let IP do it’s thing.

It’s plum jam, water, soy sauce, sambal oelek, ginger, green onions, and garlic. If you can’t find plum jam, apricot jam would work nicely here, too.

I sliced the chicken into bite-sized pieces and poured the sauce over it, so it would really be coated and flavorful. Serve over rice with broccoli or try it with some spiralized veggies! The recipe isn’t very spicy as is, so feel free to add more sambal oelek, sriracha, or hot sauce to the finished dish if you like it spicy!

Soba Noodle Salad

I adore Giada De Laurentiis. Giada at Home is one of the few Food Network shows I still watch and I loved Everyday Italian. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on her latest cookbook, Giada’s Feel Good Food: My Healthy Recipes and Secrets. Plus I’m a sucker for any cookbook that lists nutrition information. I was a tad bit disappointed in the cookbook overall because I had to thumb through it several times to find a recipe that I really wanted to make. Out of the entire cookbook, only about five appealed to me. This Soba Noodle Salad stood out because of the dressing ingredients. Almond butter, soy sauce, lime, honey, ginger, wasabi. I had to have it!

Roasted Pork Tenderloin

This Roasted Pork Tenderloin absolutely rocked my world. I never want to cook pork any other way again. We enjoyed this for our Christmas dinner and I’m so happy it turned out to be such a success. Easy marinade ingredients that you probably have in your pantry already. I only wish I had made more of the sauce because it was incredible!

Roasted Asparagus with Balsamic Browned Butter

Roasting vegetables is very high on my list of best ways to get your veggies in. It’s simple and it enhances their natural flavors, plus you can jazz it up with herbs and spices. Roasting asparagus is no different and it’s perfect with just salt and pepper. However, now that I’ve discovered Roasted Asparagus with Balsamic Browned Butter, I’ll be finishing off my veggies with this sauce from now on.
